Although this year sucks (I was supposed to be in Japan, hopefully next year), at least I got invitation to participate in city coronation...

Oh, well, since my profile pic is half a decade old, this is me last year at mount Bromo [ATTACH]

Im not using it anymore, but did for months after onset. On my first try I put a "sounds of nature" in my headphones, louder than T and went to...

Its unlikely to make it worse if professional ENT doctor does it. Earwax is there for a reason, its additional layer of ear protection. Too much...

I think I will be leaving this forum for good now. The aforementioned cold has finally left and T went again down to levels where I can only hear...

Been for 6 weeks away on a prolonged vacation and T got seriously, seriously down. I found myself not even noticing it, thinking about it, or...

This really depends on the cause of T. If your T was triggered by long-term anxiety, additiobal stress will naturally cause it to spike. If...

Pain in life is inevitable. Suffering is optional.

I just don't want to get my hopes too high. I found out that unrealistic expectations can plunge you into bad mental state once what you hoped...

Okay, so month and half back I was on this forum recommended to try a massage therapist. I didnt give it much of a hope, after all I saw every...

You dont. That is the point. You let go. If you are trying to control it, you are trying to fight it and therefore you focus on it more, negating...

Random as hell. I had days when I got half a dozen of them and I had times when I didnt get any for over a month. From where I stand it seems...

Jaw is a possible cause. Make an appointment with dentist and discuss TMJ possibility with him and try his recommended treatment. It is also...

In my case the other way around. When it started it was both ears with left being predominant and louder. Eventually, and I dont know how long, T...

2 weeks back I finally got to massage done by therapist who has been recommended to my by my friend. Anywho, funny thing, she found a nerve...

If the problem is at your neck and muscles exhibiting pressure on your cervical system, environmental changes of hot/cold shower can also have effect.

So, just a little update. I got recommended a really good massage therepist by my friend who has long-time problems with his back. Ill skip the...

Funny, it made my worse when I had flu. T is strange thing, indeed. Thing that makes it for some people worse, does nothing to others and for...

Couple months back I read one research that said that their control group of T patients whose T was not introduced thanks to hearing loss / damage...

@neo1 I actually have quite a large dossiers from docs. I have been to two public ENTs and one private. Two GPs, CT scan, vestibular tests (where...

Difficult decision, but personally I would go with it inoreer totak unblock my sinuses and at very least get them better. If docs said there are...

Yes. I got these things more and more and eventually just settled with this mindset. Its a mental battle, glad you're doing progress.

*Insert a greeting in your local language here*! I thought about chiropractor, but my friend who is a neurologist advised against it, saying that...

I actually was on what we call a rehab. Not alcoholic one. That one only awaits me in probably not that distant future. So I guess that is what...

Also, my ENT said that there is possibility that those muscle relaxants released some muscle which put a pressure on nerve. That resulted in...

When I move my jaw forward, T goes up. If I move my head to left or right and press beyond that "the end" point, it goes up. Immidiately goes down...

How active you are More than I used to be, which is not saying much because I wasnt active at all pre-T. I started doing at least something....

Also, funny thing - like one month after I got T I talked to my Latvian colleague about it. He never even heard of the term so I had to explain....

Actually this is the thing I was going through for a couple of months. The fact is that T, unless it leaves quickly, can take its sweet time to...

If you are similar to me you probably already spent ungodly amount of hours researching everything on net, trying to find some cure, trying to...

Ironically, as I am writing it I am experiencing a spike after a night of heavy, heavy, heavy, heavy drinking on last Friday night that got worse...

My first fleeting tinnitus that happened 4 days after onset actually gave me a panic attack. I dont know exactly how, it was a new sound and my...

The thing here is that generally audiology doesnt test higher frequencies. Current opinion is that lack of sound input from certain frequencies...

It can work as placebo, though. My boss gets every month or two 3-5 days episodes of tinnitus (fleeting tinnitus I believe its called) and she...

Hi Frank, I cant say anything that others didnt, but please do check out success stories thread on this forum and read stories from people...

Its considered permanent only because in most cases if immunity system / body can remove the source of T, it does so within year easily. Hell, ENT...

Generally it does and for now avoid all loud noises, of course including gun range.

Well. I dont know. Run all the tests doc orders and most likely you should get reason for it all. But to be honest, many people who have T have...

Fluid in cochlear would also result in vertigo. OP didnt mention that. ETD, perhaps? But ENT should notice that during check up so I dont know,...

What about fluid in your ears? Earwax? Did doc check those out? Were you taking any medications prior to onset? Any injury or trauma? It sounds...

Annoying sod

Mate, my granddad always used to say "given enough time and man will get used even to hole in the head."

Let your ENT check fluid in your ear. It may take even up to three months for T related to fluid / infection to disappear. Fortunatelly for you,...

It really depends on person. I had experience with great docs and with shit docs. Some care, some dont. Thing is that when it comes to T, there is...

Hi Aaron, just wondering because you wrote that you have been listening to white and brown noise for 3 years with headphones - is it possible...

Good thing is that T due to fuild in your ear in vast majority of cases ceases once fluid has been drained. It takes multiple weeks, but if you...

No pain, its just weird feeling is all. Focus on breathing via your mouth and it will go easier for both you and doc.

I keep music of water (either rainfall or ocean waves crashing) on when I go to sleep. I dont know why, but I always found that sound very...

Well, thankfully I had mild H in first month and something that was anxiety related and it generally just went away in time. As for T, ironically...

Common thing with T (though its bit of a chicken or egg question) is anxiety. It happens in most of cases, many times you dont even have to be...

IDK, but wearing plugs 24/7 seems like bit of an overkill. If you receive any medication, better check for side-effects. If you see tinnitus,...

Vitamin B12 is not a bad option either. Very often in T patients there is found lack of B12 in bloodstream.

You tell me. I found out about no headphone rule about 2 and half month into my T. Imagine my surprise.

Its likely, though no one can give you a guarantee. Try silent treatment for month or two. No headphones. Listen to music from speakers, but make...

Better check with multiple ENTs too. Talked with one guy who had to go through 4 of them and last one prescribed him Flonase for 3 months and...

That is true, but this case would be short term and it would help with your anxiety which also stabds in way of habituation. Anyway, if you want,...
